	St. David Lewis
		Together with St. John Wall, St. John Kemble and 37 other martyrs, St. David Lewis was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970 as the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales.
		All bishops, priests and religious were required to sign a formal document explicitly acknowledging Henry VIII as head of the church in England.
		The Act of Supremacy was quickly followed by the Treason Act, and explicitly enjoined the penalty of high treason on anyone who might 'maliciously' desire to deprive the king of his title of supreme head of the Church.

		Damasus likewise drained all the springs of the Vatican which ran over the bodies that were buried there, and he decorated the sepulchers of a great number of martyrs in the cemeteries, and adorned them with epitaphs in verse, of which a collection of almost forty is extant.

		The style of Gregory's address is reminiscent of his other panegyrics devoted to St. Stephen the Protomartyr and the Forty Martyrs (of Sebaste), both of which I had translated and are due to be published in 1996.
		Stephen, Protomartyr, J.102.10-19) This association with the founders of the Church towards the end of the homily on Blessed Theodore is meaningful in that Gregory of Nyssa elevates his protagonist to an intercessory role for the local church of Euchaita where his remains are venerated.
		The incursion of these hostile forces help to further assigning Gregory's sermon to the year 381 when Theodosius of Constantinople had brought the war against these invaders to a successful end in the previous year.
